Stanley Kubrick's Estate Approves New "THE SHINING" Documentary!

With the recent passing of Shelley Duval, many horror fans are remembering her role as Wendy Torrance in the iconic horror film, The Shining. Directed by the late Stanley Kubrick based on Stephen King’s novel (even though he has disavowed the film) “The Shining” is often considered one of the best horror movies of all time, and a testament to that statement is demonstrated in how the film continues to be top of mind for horror fans decades after it’s initial release. While “The Shining” has been the focus of previous documentaries like Room 237, this newest one focuses on the iconic location of the infamous Overlook Hotel!

With approval from the Estate of Stanley Kubrick, “Shine On – The Forgotten ‘Shining’ Location,” will premiere on the Stanley Kubrick YouTube Channel on Friday, July 26, 2024. The story was initially broken by Indiewire and their site provides additional details about what to expect upon release. From the article:

“Michael Sheen narrates ‘Shine On,’ which includes interviews with ‘The Shining’ executive producer Jan Harlan, art director Les Tomkins, and Kubrick’s daughter Katharina Kubrick, who worked as a location researcher on the film. The interviewees will ‘revisit the studio locations and share their memories about a film frequently voted the best horror film of all time,’ per the official synopsis.”

We are eager to check this out next week, and be sure to subscribe to the Official Stanley Kubrick YouTube channel for more expedient updates!
